Bootstrapping our current version (7.6) on a new architecture directly
is fiendishly complex and basically broken; the simplest procedure I've
found involves going via 7.8 (yes, really). But I bootstrapped ghc
successfully that way on arm64 and ppc64el, and I can probably remember
enough of how I did it to put it together for x32 as well. I'll give it
a shot and let you know.
